I have posted before but could not locate the thread but I have a Morgan 33 with the A4. I am a new owner and having engine problems.
Her are some details about the engine/boat:
1. Atomic 4 model 5101
2. SN# 200923
3. Morgan custom 33ft 1969
Problems found:
1. Gas tank had gas sitting for long time and is gunked up.
2. Water in oil with that grayish oooz.
3.Engine will fire now that I cleaned points and replaced plugs.
4. Engine starts hard and runs for 15 seconds then it produces a large noise and shutter the boat and dies.
I have cleaned the fuel pump and using a 6gal portable fuel tank for a short term replacement until I get a new tank or clean it.
I have removed the gray sludge twice now and still seeing water in oil but it does not run long to get heated up enough. I kind of think it is trying to turn the prop when it makes that noise then dies. I have been reading the posts on water in oil and I have to say I am some what relieved it could not be a major issue.
Does the transmission/gearbox suppose to have oil in it?
When it is in neutral should the prop spin freely?
Would it start in anything other than neutral?
Anyone have a stuffing box drive shaft refurbish write up?
Always glad this place is here and thank you in advance for your replies!
